Please keep the camera rolling on how YOU got that pickup through....Ran into this problem at TRNP Medora 2 years ago. A big bull came up from out of nowhere and got out in the middle of the two lane and came right at us. I put her (traverse) in reverse and gave him room. Coming across the road with guard rails on both sides, not gonna chance it. Came up out of a ravine (from the north) to the west of us and as soon as he passed the guard rail on the east end, down the ravine to the south he went. Had to go investigate. He was down in the bottom drinking out of a small pool. Never gave us a problem.

Buff just wanted to play tag. Tag your it might of been a little rough.

Buff looked frisky, not angry. Didn't look like he really had his heart into making snowmobiler-mush.

 

[shorthairsrus]

he read lunkers comments on the other thread. took it out on a snowmobileler

 

[BrokenBackJack]

I too think he was just playing (frisky). He didn't seem to have that pissed off attitude that you recognize after being around animals. Maybe he wanted a ride on a snowmobile?

I'm no buffalo-whisperer, but it would seem that maybe the best action would be no action. Maybe the sledders (and the vehicle driver) could have simply stopped, rather than continue to approach. I dunno. Self-preservation shoulda kicked in at some point...

The bison out there are so used to human activity, they are more like cattle than wildlife. My cows will do similar sometimes. Run and jump. If he wanted to do harm, he would have.

Buff has spring fever On the farm critters act goofy just for the hell of it when they are getting over cabin fever.

 

[shorthairsrus]

he may of been playing -- but when the championship is on the line ----- or the NFL career -- they play for keeps

 

[Davey Crockett]

I seen a hawk try to kick a bisons ass one time and it wasn't a close fight.

cool clip, the buff looks like a 1200lb pup romping around with his new found friends.

That kind of hopping around is playing around,. If he wanted to be agressive some of those sleds wouldn't have made it past him
